Part Risk / Part Score

Mitigate component risk

Researching and obtaining information on factors that make up your parts, exporting and organizing it into excel sheets, and analyzing it to make the right decision on what part to purchase is not only time consuming, but labor-intensive and inefficient. With technology upgrades and constant changes, self-built excel files can become inaccurate and outdated easily. Obsolescence, compliance with various requirements, availability of a part in the market, technological upgrades and downgrades that can impact the function and parametric of components, availability of crosses and replacement of parts, and overall risk of buying a part from various suppliers are all important factors that need to be taken into account when purchasing a component.
